Distance Education Program for
Traditional MLS Students in Arkansas

The Department of Laboratory Sciences offers a medical laboratory sciences distance education curriculum.  Pre-professional course work can be taken at any regionally-accredited college or university.  Students who are admitted will complete a 17 month professional curriculum.  The first year of the program includes course work (lectures and laboratory exercises) using distance education technology.  The first year student is required to complete on-campus laboratory sessions mid-semester and during the final two weeks of the fall and spring semesters.   During the final six months of the program, students complete an internship at a program-approved clinical affiliation site.  

This program is designed for students who want to become a medical laboratory professional but who cannot, for various reasons, relocate to attend the first year of the traditional program in Little Rock.  Medical laboratory professionals are needed in nearly all areas of Arkansas as well as in nearly all areas of the country.
